Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song amidst all of the Iraq war chaos. Americans fighting about whether to go or not. This song is a new spin on ancient wisdom.
Song Description
This song is about the vanity of life and culture. All universal concepts are constant and time travels in a circle. The things that happen today, happened yesterday.

Lyrics
the wind blows south
and to the north
here and there
twisting back and forth
getting nowhere
the rivers run
into the sea
endlessly?
everything is weary
to me
no matter how much
that we see
no matter how much
that we hear
it's all been
said and done before
we have it all and
still want more
there's no new thing
under the sun
the thing that has been
shall be done
one generation passes
and another comes
there's no new thing
under the sun
there's no new thing
under the sun
the things which were
are yet to come
why do you fuss, why do you fight
why do you run?
there is no new thing
under the sun
